Generally, spinach is a great food choice.   So far I think 2 have died and about 140 become sick from the e-coli bagged spinach.   Based on news coverage you’d think it had killed 2000 people.   Assuming that the exaggeration of the spinach risk leads to less consumption and a health *cost* associate with that, I bet the spinach scare will kill more people than tainted spinach when you factor in the (very slight) increase in illness associated with eating less vegetables.

What’s for dinner?
